Hopefully this whole affair can come to ahead and be done with before the Olympics start.  The worst would be for impeachment to fair through various Shanaganes  and this entire affair continue to drag out into the summer.

Yeah, whenever I bring up the games to people, they always seem to respond with the notion that Brazil is on the verge of civil war.

I weirdly can't find Walter Ihoshi, a Deputy, in the line up of how they voted...

So it will be acting President Temer that will be kicking off the 2016 Olympics it seems.

We still have the Senate.

Also, when will the new elections be?

I really do wonder where Deputy Walter Ihoshi went, he's not on the list of any of the websites, yet I know he is still in office.

Not good.

I think Dilma is horribly incompetent and should not have been elected. But incompetence should not be grounds for impeachment. This is going to hurt Brazilian presidency long term.

2/3rds majority makes it hard for Impeachment to be completely baseless. I don't think that this will become a trend if there isn't cause for it.

According to sources the Senate will decide on May 11th if it'll open the impeachment process against Dilma.
That's a long wait. Thank God I'm not a Brazillian who hates Dilma-I'd be going nuts for a month.

Yeah, and apparently that is considered "early".

Pro-Dilma coalition is basically PT. PC do B, PDT and some parts of PR (Valdemar da Costa Neto). And NE governors helped a lot in getting some anti-impeachment votes. Maranhao governor Flavio Dino (PC do B) worked a lot to get pro-Dilma votes, while Roseana Sarney that got all suport from Lula worked against Dilma because she's in very difficult situation.

Yikes. That is an extremely weak coalition.
